icon_biggrin.gif Went and bought some neon orange icing from Sam's today icon_cool.gif However, I need it to be toned down a bit to more of the cheddar orange (I'm icing a cake to look like a goldfish cracker). Do I use yellow or brown or black? I keep finding conflicting ideas on the net. Can anyone help?? icon_smile.gif THANKS!!!

Well if it were me.....I'd cut it with some white to tone it down a bit so it isn't neon bright and then add little drops of brown until you get the right tone.

You can also try using the tinyiest bit of green, olive or avacado works best.
